Better IDE: thank ziggy and use blide and donate some bucks to him or get Blide Plus :)
I've tried Blide, and even though it is a nice looking IDE, there's still too many bugs that crop up for me.
One, which really does get on my nipple ends, is that when you want a project to open on start up, the project somehow gets corrupted, and makes Blide unusable. And I've never figured out how to remove that option on start-up. It also does swallow a lot of resources... But for me, its a recurring problem.
But, I digress, Ziggy has paved the way on what an IDE should do for Max, he has made a good job of it, and I do take my hat off for him as obviously, there has been a lot of hard work gone into there, and releasing the standard free one is very generous of him (So who can really complain). But, I would rather spend less time worrying about an IDE going haywire, and more time worrying why collisions have gone all to pot! :)
Qide, by Qube looks great, but, its a side project of his and he told me he is waiting for mark finishing mucking around with the output of the compiler, as it may change the debugging part, which he doesnt want to write again.
All in the, the Community Edition is holding up for me, its got enough little extra's in there to make programming more manageable, as well as the docs are nice and tidy so finding stuff is less of a pain!
